How, how could we forget about you
The summoner, the centerfold, successor to the brood
Of all the iterations yeah you're the sickest dude
Fighting cow, how could we forget about you

Say you don't hate me for nothing
Hate me for falling out of reach
Hate me for something

Never knew that you could be so lonely, lonely
Running out of feelings so pretend you can be lonely, lonely
Stuck in your mind

Can't let it go
What hurts you the most
Is I wasn't there to beg you
"Baby don't go"
Put on a show

Light it up
Light it up
No, it's not a phase
It's the way that she combs my hair
Never wake
Never wake from this coma

How, how could we forget about you
The summoner, the centerfold, successor to the brood
Of all the iterations yeah you're the sickest dude
Fighting cow, how could we forget about you

Light it up for us
Show me the way you're growing
Your catharsis is beautiful
I wish I could be you

Show up at the ball wit yo doo doo faced babe
The robot with human hair is dead but gets laid
That's why he's got all these kids on the way
His son's a girl named baby swirl that loves to swang his blade

Can't let it go
What hurts you the most
Is I wasn't there to beg you
"Baby don't go"
Put on a show

Light it up
Light it up
No, it's not a phase
It's the way that she combs my hair
Never wake
Never wake from this coma

Light it up for us
Show me the way you're growing
Your catharsis is beautiful
Brighter
How I wish I could touch you
Feel you, breathe you, be just like you

    My InterpretationBesides the mess that is Jon Mess’s horribly inconceivable and idiotic lyrics, it seems like this song is about a man who appears to be a robot either symbolically or literally.

    “Put on a show, light it up” I believe is in response to watching someone go through emotions. The robot can’t have emotions and finds it beautiful, finds them incredible.

    “Show me the way you’re growing. Your catharsis is beautiful, I wish I could be you.”

    It’s finding beauty in the simplest of things; truly our emotions are a wondrous, beautiful and difficult thing.

    "Your catharsis is beautiful
    Brighter
    How I wish I could touch you
    Feel you, breathe you, be just like you"

    Very well some of the best vocals from Tilian on this whole album and DGD's discography. I don't know the lore behind the "robot" series from Dance Gavin Dance but I'd be interested on anyone else's take.
